DragonSpeed Brings All-Viking Lineup to Sebring 12 Hours

Stalwart LMP2 sportscar squad DragonSpeed will continue its quest for the Michelin Endurance Cup at the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring, second round of the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The classic enduro will see the return of regular Bronze driver Henrik Hedman alongside new teammates Malthe Jakobsen of Denmark and Swede Rasmus Lindh, with enhanced backing from long-time sponsor Flex-Box, a leading global producer of shipping containers.

20-year-old Jakobsen has stepped up to the World Endurance Championship as test and reserve driver for the factory Peugeot Hypercar program while continuing to race LMP2 in the European Le Mans Series. Lindh, age 22, has been a standout in the INDYCAR ladder classes while also establishing himself as a rising star in sportscars.

Henrik Hedman: “It will be a pleasure to be back in the 81 car for Sebring. I consider it my home track and number one target after winning Daytona and Le Mans. The LMP2 field is deeper than ever, but after some near misses at Sebring in my ten years with DragonSpeed, we are aiming for the top step with the help of our first all-Viking lineup of Flex-Box, Malthe, Rasmus, and myself!”

Malthe Jakobsen: “I’m really excited to join DragonSpeed for my return to Sebring, one of my favorite races. I have my LMP3 experience from 2022, DragonSpeed’s LMP2 record speaks for itself, and I’ll have great teammates in Henrik and Rasmus, so I can’t wait to get started.”

Rasmus Lindh: “I’m thrilled to be part of successful team like DragonSpeed for the rest of the Michelin Endurance Cup season. Thank you to all involved for this great opportunity – let’s go racing!”

DragonSpeed Team Principal Elton Julian: “It’s fantastic to have Henrik back with us for Sebring. This is the one that’s gotten away from us – so far. With increased support from Flex-Box and the addition of two young chargers in Malthe and Rasmus, we have what we need to fight for the win. I personally love everything about this race, not least the fans, and can’t wait to get stuck in. »
